All I did was the simple way, marinate sotong with serai, ginger, garlic and onion ( blend it first) and salt, grill it on the gas stove using a nonstick pan..As for the sambal, lagi simple, I use the leftover sambal ( when i bought nasi lemak from outside stall, ask them to pack sambal separately), reheat it and just add big onion slices...Simple kah?
